The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1887-05-05

The Hartwell Sun recently published
the following: "About fifty years ago,
Bro. Dannelly was preaching in the
Methodist Church at Pendleton, S. c., on
warm day. The Church was crowded.
A wealthy lady, sitting near the pulpit,
had her negro servant bring her water in
large silver cup several times, to the
preachers annoyance. Finally the old
man stopped his discourse suddenly and
said: Gal, you needn't bring that silver
cup in any more-everybody has seen it
now.' Tie cup vanished from sight at
once"
Both the Independent and Pioneer Com
panies are practicing every afternoon with
the intention Of going to Charlotte on the
Goth inst. to participate in the Firemens
Tournament. Our Boy Band will also
probably 60 and contest for the Band
prize. We hope nothing will prevent
either from going, as their presence in
Charlotte will give Anderson a good send
of. Merchants and other business men
who have members of either Company in
their employ should not hesitate to let
them of. We do not think there is
business man i'm Anderson who would re.
fuse such request.
Mr.. Crump, ono of the owners of the
patent known as Stages coffee.pot, has
been liberal in marked degree in fur
nishing the coffee at the various public
entertainments given recently in our city.
BY so doing be has contributed to the sue
cess of these entertainments and at the
same time has demonstrated the superior
ity of this patent for making excellent
coffee. Nearly everybody in Anderson
uses the Stages Coffee pot, and those who
have not already done so will doubtless
get one for they are cheap and durable.
Mr.. Crump will remain in Anderson for
some two weeks yet, and will be glad to
see those who wish to buy good coffee
pot.
Our former tcwnsman, Mr.. o. Geisburg,
has settled at Decatur, Ala, where he is
engaged in the real estate business. The
last issue of the Decatur Free Lance has
this to say about Mr.. Geisburg: "There
was lady sitting quietly at one of the
hotel tables Friday morning at breakfast,
waiting for the train to sidetrack and go
to Florence, when MI. Geisburg, the most
modest of Decatur real estate agents, GAL
lantly engaged her in conversation. In
short time he learned that she was from
Cincinnati, and came South to share the
general prosperity. he took his carriage
and showed her around the city, selling
her one piece of property with the chance
to sell her more next week. So much for
the fact that nodesty and business go
hand in hand"
The County Commissioners publish
notice to the Road Overseers in this issue
of our paper. The Road Law is imperative
as to the amount of work to be done, and
penalties are provided again't both Over
seers and Commissioners who fail to do
their duty. The Commissioners intend to
carry out the law, and we have no doubt
the Overseers and hands will do so also.
It is not fair to the men who work their
roads to let any escape working their sec'
tions. The roads where they have been
we'll worked are in fine condition, and the
men who have put them in this condition,
have The right to insist that others shall do
likewise. The blank returns for Overseers
will be ready for delivery by E. w. Long
ESQ, Clerk of Board of County Commis-
sioners, by Monday next.
